Hotel Cordée des Alpes, Verbier (4*)

A new development in 2012, the ‘Cordée’ mixes the best of a traditional ski hotel with the latest in Swiss chic. Designed with both international and local architects the use of fine local materials and finishes is apparent throughout this luxurious hotel.

The stylish touches will impress as soon as you walk through the hotel doors; the welcoming lounge area with open fireplace provides the perfect place to relax with freshly made tea and cakes after a day on the slopes. The hotel’s intimate restaurant serves a gastronomic menu of local and fresh flavours in the evenings, as well as one of the best breakfasts we’ve had in the Alps. The variety of options on offer are sure to set you up for a day on the slopes.

Le Cordée Spa is simple stunning! This indulgent and charming wellness area is completed with a 14 metre swimming pool that looks out on to the mountain tops. Other facilities at the hotel include two conference rooms providing state of the art facilities for up to 30 guests, great for those who are needing to mix business with pleasure.

The Cordée des Alpes is located less than a 10 minute walk away from the lifts or you can take advantage of the hotel’s complimentary shuttle service to take you there.

We have selected the Cordeée des Alpes as one of our family friendly hotel top picks due to the excellent facilities they provide for children; afternoon screenings of family favourites, use of the indoor swimming pool and babysitting available on request.
